These conversations between Dr. Jean Clinton and Ann Douglas are here to provide parents support during the COVID-19 Crisis.

Summer is here, but with many activities and places being closed during the pandemic, it is becoming increasingly clear we are going to have to find fun on our own home turf.
Play is a huge way that kids learn, they’re exploring different roles, they’re pretending, learning the rules of who goes first, who goes second. There’s the amazing brain building that it does, because of the reward, kids love to play and it makes them excited, which puts them in a better mood. Who wouldn't love that?!
It can be overwhelming and challenging for parents to reimagine and think of ways to be more playful with their children, especially for families with limited green space nearby. Thinking of ways of how you can play at home, in the house, with board games you can borrow from the library, we used to play pick-up sticks with our kids for hours and hours. Keeping it simple is possible - it’s the playfulness we need to be thinking of introducing back in our lives.
This could be the summer of play and imagination and new possibilities, not just for our kids and our families, but for the entire world! Optimists Unite!
